Ice vs Heat... <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XzMQhQslyfw/VspuIXQl10I/AAAAAAAAAzk/Rk50V-op-S0/s1600/Ice%2Bvs%2Bheat%2B.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XzMQhQslyfw/VspuIXQl10I/AAAAAAAAAzk/Rk50V-op-S0/s400/Ice%2Bvs%2Bheat%2B.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />It is an unfortunate truth in leading an active lifestyle; at one point or another you will most likely suffer an injury of some sort. Hopefully it is small in nature and you will be back to normal in a short time, but how you go about handling the injury may be the biggest factor in how quickly you heal. &nbsp;Again, we must stress that here we are focusing our attention on minor injuries such as sprained ankles or strained muscles. A more severe injury, such as muscle or ligament tear will demand the attention of a medical professional.<br /><br />Many times people are often confused as to whether to use ice or heat to help an injury heal. &nbsp;Both have their benefits and uses. Ice reduces swelling in an injured area, and helps dull the pain in the area as well. Heat, on the other hand, provides a soothing sensation, increasing blood flow to the area and helping loosen up tight areas. &nbsp;So which one is best? The answer is that it may be both-just not at the same time.<br /><br />Typically speaking, immediately after an acute injury, the injury should be treated with ice (and compression if applicable). Normally inflammation follows immediately after the injury, so icing can help decrease this inflammation and dull some of the pain that is sure to accompany it. &nbsp;It is important that for the first few days following an injury that ice, along with rest, is the main focus of the healing process. &nbsp;Heat draws blood into an area, and during the first few days where swelling is often an issue, will only increase this swelling. &nbsp;So until the swelling subsides, heat packs or pads should be avoided.<br /><br />After the first few days are past and swelling is no longer evident, you can introduce heat. By alternating ice and heat packs you can begin to introduce more blood, oxygen and nutrients to the injured area to help progress the healing process. Again we are still using the ice packs to avoid swelling. It’s also important to start to exercise the area by slowly stretching and moving the injured area in an effort to avoid immobilization. Remember not to push to the point of pain as you may reinjure yourself. While you still may experience tenderness or slight pain for weeks after and injury, the need for constant attention to the area is not warranted. You can still use ice or heating packs if you want to help with the pain.<br /><br />So remember-ice first and foremost and save the heat for a few days later at least. It might feel better to use a heating pack, but your body and the injury will thank you for the cold!Lessonsinhealthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09755531200303789250noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-838881452506513405.post-34743676379611411692016-02-21T19:06:00.003-07:002016-02-21T19:06:44.031-07:00Sitting and Lower Back Pain <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wOd3HwnuE-s/Vsps5rqtz3I/AAAAAAAAAzY/Mil6Y6NTskc/s1600/Low%2Bback%2Bpain%2B.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="226" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wOd3HwnuE-s/Vsps5rqtz3I/AAAAAAAAAzY/Mil6Y6NTskc/s400/Low%2Bback%2Bpain%2B.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">If you are like the millions of Americans who find themselves sitting behind a desk all day and fighting traffic both to and from work, chances are you may also be one of many dealing with back pain. Stiffness, dull aching, and pain when bending down to pick something up may be a part of your day that you’ve come to live with. No amount of adjusting in your chair seems to help alleviate the discomfort. So what causes this and what can you do to help alleviate it on your own? First we should note that not all back pain is the same. Here we are mainly discussing back pain related to being sedentary, but this pain could be caused by other factors such as lifting something heavy without proper form or a sudden twisting or jerking motion that your body was not prepared for. In these cases some of these tips may help while some cases may require seeking the help of a professional.&nbsp;</div><div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">We have become a society of sitters. We sit in our cubicle or office for hours on end. We drive everywhere-more sitting-and when we’re home we are plopped down on the couch watching TV. This has a serious negative effect on our back and spine. First sitting produces about twice as much pressure on our discs as standing, and unfortunately we also tend to slouch which only increases this pressure. Additionally when we sit we put our hamstrings into a fixed position, which in turns allows them to tighten and reduces their range of motion. This causes reduced mobility in the hips and often a curve forward in the lumbar spine. When this inactivity continues for long periods of time it can lead to damage in the spinal structure and make back pain worse and worse. So what do you do when your job requires you be in the office all day long? Here are a few tips for fighting and staving off back pain from sitting:</div><ol style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><li style="padding-bottom: 6px; padding-top: 6px;">GET UP: Every 30 minutes or so stand up and walk around. Increased activity will help loosen the lower back muscles and alleviate pain.</li><li style="padding-bottom: 6px; padding-top: 6px;">STRETCH: When you get up, take some time to lean down and touch your toes and then reach for the ceiling. Make a point to sit on your office floor and go through as many hamstring stretches as time allows ensuring your hamstrings don’t stiffen up on you.</li><li style="padding-bottom: 6px; padding-top: 6px;">WATCH YOUR POSTURE: Don’t slouch! Sit up tall and keep your core tight. This will lessen the effects of being seated.</li><li style="padding-bottom: 6px; padding-top: 6px;">GET A CHAIR THAT FITS: Make sure the chair you have at your desk is ideal for your height and has lower back support.</li><li style="padding-bottom: 6px; padding-top: 6px;">STRENGTHEN YOUR CORE: Doing exercises for your core can improve posture and avoid other strains from carrying or lifting things up from the floor.</li><li style="padding-bottom: 6px; padding-top: 6px;">FOAM ROLL AND MASSAGE: Sometimes you can develop a knot that can wreck havoc on your back. Foam rolling sore areas or having a massage may help loosen up and alleviate any pained caused by this.</li></ol><div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Hopefully these tips will help you to avoid the common back pain issues that many deal with. Like with anything it’s about being consistent. If you only stretch every 3 weeks or only get up every 5 hours most likely you will not see a benefit from these tips. Taking care of yourself and being preventative and not reactive is the trick! Again, if you find that your back simply isn’t improving than it may be time to schedule and appointment and get checked out.</div>Lessonsinhealthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09755531200303789250noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-838881452506513405.post-21384740185145814302016-02-09T12:43:00.001-07:002016-02-09T12:43:59.616-07:00The Simple Truth: Decoding the Dietary Supplement Industry<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7HIvIIM-35w" width="480"></iframe>Lessonsinhealthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09755531200303789250noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-838881452506513405.post-30569840633032849562016-02-07T14:24:00.001-07:002016-02-07T14:24:43.390-07:00How driverless cars will change cities.
